Rapture - World Conquest

Was bored and going through my history of purchased apps and I recognized the icon... I was surprised to see it was updated just 11 months ago (feels recent when this has been on the store for almost a decade) and was being retired from the store!!! I still remember spending hours going through rounds years ago, and picking this back up brought plenty of nostalgic memories. Big kudos to the devs for removing ads and in-app purchases instead of just abandoning it at the end. Now that it's going to be unsupported going forwards, I really do thank and respect the team for cleaning up the user experience. I'll spend some time playing and make sure not to uninstall the app this time, haha😊

Truly, this is a fun game, it is perfect for 10-20 mins of spare time per match. Excellent soundtrack, very neat concept, easy mechanics. I suggest getting the “disc” planet as soon as you can, it costs 12k in game points (the more you win the more points you get). It is much easier on the disc, it can be pretty ridiculous trying to move the camera around the globe map. I like to put the settings on Colossal map size, and random land mass coverage, especially for the disc map. Civ pick is purely for the color you want your troops to be, they are all the same otherwise. You start with Romans (blue and light blue). I personally like the Spartan colors of dark red and white. I just achieved “Omnipotent” this morning, and it reset the “achievements” but retaining the gold/points. Once you have it down, you have it down, I have stayed on “deity” difficulty, the hardest is “supreme being”. From what I can see, it lowers your production/tech speed/troop production/and miracle speed (speed as in how fast they all accumulate). Graphics are cool enough, miracles are a cool feature too. Policy change is a good concept, capitalism speeds production, when it reaches a certain point in a region it caps off, but it lowers the time troops pump out, that’s when I switch to military policy which speeds troop prod. The more regions, the faster everything. Thanks for reading, and have fun with this game!

This is one of those games where if you have nothing better to do, you'll probably would play it. It's simple, but pretty entertaining. The Ai is pretty good, and it's quite fun when raging huge wars with other people/Ai. Really, the only thing that I can think of that would make this game better is the ability to make games that only Ai would play, and where you can effect said Ai, (give them boosts, pick what nations, where/how many squares they own, etc.)
